And if Zimmerman's background is relevant so is Martin's.
George Zimmerman is on trial, not Trayvon.
Can you imagine a trial in which the defense's case consisted of "prosecuting" the victim, and the prosecution's role was to "defend" the victim, and the focus was on how responsible the victim was for his own death. How much sense would that make?
It seems the agenda by many George supporters is to get sanction for the belief by acquitting George. I think this trial will at least make those in power take a look at what seems to be some problems with the self-defense and gun laws as they stand today.
I agree.
Like, I wonder what are the motivations of people who have donated to Zimmerman's defense fund.
Some are his close friends and supporters as we have learned during the trial. And a few may be people who think an innocent man was railroaded into trial by political forces.
But how many others are racists, and gun rights extremists, and far-right conservatives?

The actions of Trayvon Martin are just as important to this case as the actions of George Zimmerman. This entire trial is going to determine if Trayvon Martin or George Zimmerman was actually the victim, if GZ is found not guilty he was the victim of an attack and defended himself properly in the eyes of the law.
BTW, did they ever try to find out where that Jewelry came from and why he had a Flat Blade screwdriver in his backpack ?
Did you know Flat Blade screwdrivers found on suspects are considered "Burglary Tools" ?
It can be used as evidence of a crime.
He had the screwdriver because the 'typical teen' carries one in their school backpack to fix their broken skateboards or bikes. Yep, I read that right here on this forum.
If Miami cops are trying to trace the jewelry, no way will we hear it was from a burglary until long after the trial.
it wasn't a "pre" judgment, he was being followed/stalked when he said that. he had a reason to think zimmerman was creepy.
Of course it was a prejudgement, don't be stupid.
